Economic and trade trends in West Africa

Overview

In September 2026, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire experienced rising consumer prices. In Senegal, monthly inflation rose by 1.1%, driven by a 2% increase in food and non-alcoholic beverage prices—notably a 23.9% surge in leafy vegetables—and a 1% rise in housing and utility costs. Côte d'Ivoire saw annual inflation accelerate to 1.6% in September, with transport costs increasing by 5.5% due to spikes in gasoline and diesel prices.

Economic data for August 2026 indicates shifting trade dynamics in the region. Burkina Faso reported a 57.7% year-on-year increase in exports, totaling 6,049.2 billion FCFA, largely due to a 66.5% surge in raw gold sales. In Senegal, the prices of imported goods rose by 2.7% in August, while export prices increased by 3.7%, supported by higher values for mineral products and precious stones.
